Every time I try to include pictures with a post, they are too big and they will not attach. I tried a zip file but that also did not work. Can someone tell me a simple way to do this?
Thanks.

Open a free account at www.photobucket.com
Upload your photos there.
Then copy the IMG Code of the picture you want to post and paste it here.

Easier than it looks but here is how I do it.

While viewing the picture on your computer at the top there should be an "open" option in the menu bar.
Click on that and it should give you some options for what program you can use. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Click on that and it will open the picture using that program.
Select "edit pictures"
A menu opens on the right side of the screen and in it select "resize"
Another menu will open on the right side and in it click on the arrow located to the right side of the "Predefined width x height" box.
Select "Web large" then click "ok"
Save it by clicking on "File" at the top left corner of your screen and select "Save as"
Select what location / folder you want to save it in and then change the file name to something like A001 etc... If you don't do this your original picture will be changed to a smaller size and once that happens it can not be made bigger.
Click “Save”
Once you have it saved in the smaller size you can post it with no problems.

Believe it or not, I got the 28-29 car hubcaps to fit with a large rubber grommet in the wheel hole first, then bend a couple of the tabs out and they seem to fit quite well.
